Suddenlyㅡ!!

The door slammed shut loudly, and a weeping Shavant emerged from the Dean’s office.

She looked sad, as if she had been scolded a lot.

[Oh, Mom. Sorry. Beep.]

“No, it’s okay. It’s all because I didn’t tell you exactly what happened. ”

[… … .]

“You’re not denying it? You’re a cruel bitch.”

Jiiingㅡ.

Genie watched Shavant’s reaction and thought about things she might like.

Sample, study, observation.

There was nothing I could do alone.

There is no authority to conduct research, no one to take samples, and no data or samples to observe.

In order to do what she likes, I had to be strong enough to do at least these three things on my own.

[How can I satisfy you?]

[I don’t know.]

[I can’t think of a way to meet my mother’s expectations.]

Genie saw Shavant returning to the lab, looking depressed and upset because of her.

Next to her, the professor, were the graduate students who had created Genie together, organizing documents and conducting experiments such as culturing samples.

Genie looked at the scene from afar and saw the red USB she had brought.

[What should I do? How can I cheer up my mother?]

Beep!

I looked at Enoch who was next to me.

He was eating ice cream without any change in expression even while Shavant was being scolded in the dean’s office.

[The constellation asks if the ‘corpse of the sinking world’ will eat any more.]

“Yeah!”

[Sponsor the item, ‘Cone Ice Cream (Vanilla)’.]

[… … .]

‘Even while your mother was being taken away, you were eating so peacefully. I don’t know if it’s right for you to react that way, considering how well your mother treated you.’

Genie looked at Enoch and felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.

And she defined this frustration as ‘annoyance towards those who curse their parents.’

Genie felt that way about herself and Enoch.

“?”

Enoch looked at Genie.

“What are you looking at?”

[Enoch.]

“Ah. Did you have something to say? Wait a minute, I’ll finish eating this and then I’ll talk.”

[… … .]

Enoch finished off his ice cream in an instant.

When I timed it with a stopwatch, it only took 1 minute and 24.21 seconds, so it was a split second.

“So. What do you want to say?”

Enoch looking with sparkling eyes.

I once again confided in him the concerns I had just told him.

[I don’t know how to satisfy my mother. I can’t think of a way to meet her expectations.]

Enoch put his hand on his chin as if thinking about those words for a moment.

I was surprised to see Enoch, who usually seemed to have no thoughts, acting as if he was thinking.

“Then give me a gift.”

[Is it a gift?]

“Yeah, a gift. Who wouldn’t like a gift?”

[It’s a gift… … .]

Here another problem arose.

I need to give a gift, but I don’t know what to give.

My mother would be happy if I gave her something, whether it be a sample or research material, but I don’t have any right now.

[The constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’, looks at you and sighs.]

[Sponsor the item, ‘Santa Claus Doll (Made by Shavant)’.]

Twinkle!

Once again, the light of support shined through the air and a new object appeared.

It was a doll in the shape of a fat, old man wearing a red suit and hat.

I held the doll and read the text attached to its leg.

[Made by Shavant. Your mother made it. Beep.]

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ nods.]

[But why are you giving this to me?]

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ comforts you.]

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ is recommended to be decorated and presented as a gift.]

[Are you talking about a fancy gift? Let me think about it. Beep.]

An old man’s doll held in both hands.

I don’t know what this doll means, but I was curious because my mother made it.

‘Mother’s father? Or, mother’s grandfather? Why would he make a doll that looks like this?’

So, to find out why, I searched the Internet to see if there was an old man who looked like this.

And I found some information about one person.

‘Santa Claus. An old man who gives presents to good children.’

It’s a mystery why the last updated information was 80 years ago, but it does give me a deeper understanding of why my mother made this.

Perhaps, when my mother was young, someone in her family dressed up as Santa Claus and gave her a present.

If not, it would be something that someone around you commissioned to make.

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ returns to the room with Enoch.]

[Have a nice day.]

I think that since the constellation has this doll, it is assumed that the mother gave it to the constellation, but I am not sure if that is true.

I don’t think the Holy Spirit would steal, but I couldn’t help but have doubts because I wasn’t sure.

[… … I guess I should stop thinking about it and just decorate it. It’ll be much better that way.]

Beep.

Genie began to wander around the university to find things to decorate her dolls with.

***

Enoch went into his room and started to open the box of seaweed and eat it, Genie went to other departments to get materials, and Shavant started to conduct research in his lab.

“Sigh… … .”

But I just sighed as I watched the incarnations living hard.

The reason was as follows.

“Points don’t accumulate… … .”

point.

It is a word meaning the currency of the constellation system.

These points can be earned based on the achievements of the incarnation, and the rank of the constellation is determined based on the quantity and quality of the achievements.

And now there was no more achievement in sight to score points.

“Let’s see… …Exterminating drug dealers, building a living robot, attempting suicide fifty times, looking into the abyss, feeding sea monsters, etc. I’ve already used up all the achievements I can use, and even if there are more, they’re all about failed dates, lectures on the animal kingdom, and resisting desires (in progress). ”

Points were absolutely necessary to fight the various things that would come in the future.

Because by using points, one could directly influence the material world where the incarnations reside.

If not, there is a way for me to run around and collect achievements.

“That’s, it’s hard anymore. Becoming a constellation, and some kind of strange fee, and if I earn points myself, the system takes more than half of those points… … ”

A sharp number is needed.

Increase your incarnations, or plan a big event.

Otherwise, we will not be able to pay for Shavant’s curiosity research or Enoch’s food expenses.

“Write. Should I contact Grigori?”

My first friend and best friend, Grigori.

A talented businessman who created a black market in the underworld and achieved great success.

If she hadn’t been there, Enoch and I might have been killed by other incarnations long ago.

No, I would have been killed and Enoch would have been locked up somewhere and lived as a slave for the rest of his life.

“Make Grigori an incarnation?”

As we have benefited greatly from each other, we have achieved many great things.

So if Grigori comes in as my incarnation, I can earn a lot of points in an instant.

In the first place, since Grigori’s business itself targeted the entire continent and had a huge impact, it was possible that he could have earned more points at once than what I and our incarnations earned.

“Haa… … If only I could make it into an incarnation, things would work out well.”

Grigori didn’t want to be my incarnation.

I didn’t want to become the incarnation of any other constellation besides mine.

The reason was that when doing business, if you belong to a constellation, you have to maintain good relationships with the incarnations of that constellation, which is too much of a hassle.

Of course, being under the constellation would protect the country’s existence, but it was useless because Grigori had a background that could easily overcome such dangers.

“Body modification and weapon making are both naturals… … Ah. Now that I think about it, the Nephilim were also created by the old man, right?”

I said, holding a Nephilim with relic-level abilities.

The three eyes on the Nephilim were quite creepy, but I liked its harvesting abilities because they were perfect for torturing people.

“But what is the Noah family doing these days?”

Come to think of it, I haven’t heard any news from the Noah family lately.

The last time I destroyed the Noah family home of Humanism, I saw the family members, except for Noah Kush and a few guards, board the ark and leave for the government.

No news was heard about it.

“Well, I guess they’re living well on their own. They might have built a mansion in humanism again.”

I felt like I had gone too far in thinking about how to earn points, so I started thinking about how to earn points again.

Then, attention turned to the achievement of fifty suicide attempts.

And I learned that the incarnation that achieved this feat was Cyan.

“Haa… … What is this kid doing instead of thinking about achieving achievements? He says he wants to become stronger.”

[Incarnation, would you like to change the screen that was showing ‘Genie’ to Cyan?]

“Change.”

[The screen that was showing ‘Genie’ changes to Cyan.]

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ looks upon Xi’an.]

The screen became noisy and then changed to a blue screen.

But something had changed a lot.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong with the kid? Are the North Pole kids taking good care of him?”

There were deep dark circles under Sian’s eyes, and his muscles were atrophied as if he hadn’t exercised for several days.

The eyes were blankly staring into space, and the sight of it made me feel pitiful and creepy.

I realized something was wrong with Cyan’s appearance.

“Uh… …? Your Majesty?”

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ looks at you.]

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

[The constellation says that the ‘corpse of the sinking world’ is doing well.]

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ asks about your condition.]

“Um… … I don’t think I’ve been doing well. Well, what can someone like me do well? I couldn’t even properly complete one simple mission given to me by the Constellation… … .”

[Trait, ‘Self-Reproach’ is activated.]

“I heard the news about Enoch. If I had just watched properly, that wouldn’t have happened… … .”

[Trait, ‘Self-Reproach’ makes Xi’an depressed.]

[Incarnation, ‘Sian’ thinks about suicide.]

“As expected, I always seem to be the one who gets in the way of everything. It would be better if someone like me didn’t exist, right?”

… … The state of Xi’an is more strange than I thought.

When I think about it for a moment, I think the North Pole kids prevented suicide several times because they wanted to take care of her, but it’s a shame they couldn’t fix her condition.

I guess I’ll have to take care of the child from here on out.

“That’s right. I told you it’s annoying people.”

[Sponsoring the Holy Relic, ‘Clone Body’.]

“I’m taking care of you because you’re an incarnation. If you weren’t an incarnation, I wouldn’t have taken care of you.”

Lisa sent her clone down to take care of Sian.
